Installing GnuGP 2.1.x from sources on CentOS 7

Hello,

I am trying to install GnuGP2 from sources on CentOS 7 using a custom folder. I am running into problem because either 'configure' or a compiler cannot see libraries / include files even though I set variables for that. I found a script in `github` which downloads and installs everything in to `/usr/local/bin`. I try to install gnugp2 in my custom folder. However, somewhere in the middle I've got error and don't know how to proceed.

This is the error:

Code:
ntbtls-int.h:27:20: fatal error: gcrypt.h: No such file or directory
 #include <gcrypt.h>
                    ^
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [visibility.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/applications/gpg-install/ntbtls-0.1.1/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/applications/gpg-install/ntbtls-0.1.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Here is the script I am trying to run. Please notice that I have set environmental variables which configure and linker supposed to see. Also, there is a line "echo "/usr/local/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gpg2.conf" commented as I haven't figure out how to do this.

Thanks

The message is clearly saying it can't find the header file gcrypt.h.

Is that file found in any of the tar bundles you extracted in either /opt/applications/gpg-install or /opt/applications/gnupg2? (You can run "find <directory> -name gcrypt.h" to see. If not you may need another bundle that includes that file.

I'm curious why you're building your own given gnupgp2 is included with RHEL7 so should already be in CentOS7? The gcrypt.h is part of the libgcrypt-devel package on RHEL7 (and presumably CentOS7).

Hi,

I changed the script slightly. Now everything is loaded to one folder "/opt/applications/gnupg2", which contains: lib, include, bin, and share. In ".bashrc", I set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS that point out to folders in "/opt/applications/gnupg2". It gets further now but still complains about missing libraries. Now pinentry complains about missing <curses.h> as a part of "ncurses"; "ncurses" installs libraries into its own subfolder: '/opt/applications/gnupg2/lib/ncurses/'--strange. I added an extra folder to CPPFLAGS to include ncurses:

Code:
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/applications/gnupg2/include:/opt/applications/gnupg2/include/ncurses
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/applications/gnupg2/lib
but "pinentry" still cannot find the <curses.h> :/

"find . -name curses.h -type f" finds the missing file in proper folder: "/opt/applications/gnupg2/include/ncurses/curses.h"

I must say I am out of options now!


To answer your question, I could use gpg 2.0 which is installed in CentOS by default but I read that due to new version gpg 2.1.x version 2.0 will be discontinued. There is something about how keys are stored and they changed it in gpg 2.1.x. I had to do the same with git. The newest version is 2.13.2 whereas v1.8 is the max version available in CentOS 7!

Your reasoning for moving to 2.1 misses the driving setup of RHEL/CentOS. Although they DO start with a certain upstream version they back port bug and security fixes and often enough enhancements into the version they create so it is NOT exactly the same as the original upstream version. You have to look for the extended versioning they put on it.

Also with RHEL7 they are sometimes actually replacing older upstream based packages with newer upstream based packages if the older one is no longer supported.

Well, I can only say that the point is taken.

Regarding my issue with a missing file, would you have any suggestion why I cannot proceed to compile next library after ncurses is built? I cannot figure out the reason why make cannot find <curses.h> while it passed configure.

Thanks

You may need to install ncurses-dev, or whatever Centos calls it.

I don't think a colon separated list of directories works here. Try it with "-I" in front of both:
Code:
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/applications/gnupg2/include -I/opt/applications/gnupg2/include/ncurses

I could not find how to provide multiple directories like this. I assumed colon would be ok. I'll try without colon. Thanks.

I think it 'ncurses-devel'. I have not checked what version is required by GnuGP 2.1.12 though. CentOS 7 provides v5.9

Thanks. This worked. The only comment on that is I had to put it between quotation marks. Otherwise, it complained that the folder ncurses was not available.
